Packers Looking To Upgrade At Linebacker This Offseason

The Packers are not likely to stick with the status quo at outside linebacker as they did one year ago because Clay Matthews needs help. Outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene told Dan Pompei of the National Football Post that he never has seen a player get double and triple teamed as much as Matthews was this year. “You get a tight end chipping you, a back coming off the edge, a tackle, and then a guard fanning your way,” he said. The reason, obviously, is the Packers had no one else who could take advantage of singles. Dom Capers subsequently ended up dropping Matthews more and taking him out of what he does best—rushing the passer. Matthews still played at a very high level in 2011, but he needs a pass rush partner for the Packers to be a better defense.
